He shouldn't be bringing up racism considering that he's asking for special treatment.

I'm not really sure what you are saying here - he's described direct racism through verbal statements. Are you saying that disagreeing with Hivewatchers' decision is justification for racist attacks?

I think what you're getting at is there can be an option on frontends to state why an upvote or downvote is cast (an option outside of commenting I mean).

That isn't going to make any difference when there are openly sociopathic whales that even celebrate their state of mind in public. They aren't going to leave comments and even if they did it wouldn't change anything much when they want to autodownvote for their own agenda.

Bottom line is that there is a huge amount of hypocrisy, denial and unconscious activity happening in the 'community' here and it is being directly supported by some of the largest stakeholders who have had ample time to take action but who have mostly done nothing. If people want to create that for some reason, then that's their choice, but in highly competitive spaces, such as social media and crypto - it will only lead to nowhere.
